Why would an absolute genius like Darth Plagueis be so stupid that he gets drunk and lets his guard down in front of his apprentice? What did he think was going to happen??? They are literally in a psychopathic cult in which it is the apprentice's goal to kill the master and take over.

He was an idealist who thought that achieving immortality would break the cycle of the rule of two, and he didn't really expect his apprentice to give zero fucks about living forever (or more likely, palps figured rightly that once he was the only game in town he would have lots of time to fuck with sith science and shit.)

I've been unable to avoid 3rd hand exposure to african-american internet and musical culture causing me to habitually mimic their speech, and also because the contrast between ebonics and even the plainest english makes for good comedy when they appear in the same sentence, and shit.

I think that you need to stop listening to hip hop, anon. Cleanse your mind with classical music and other European art.

I have not listened to rap music in a long time and I feel much better now.

Most of the rappers I listen to have read more than me, and I feel that listening to opposing extremists like nsbm and black nationalist rap helps ground my worldview and prevents me from being seduced by ideologies and shit.

What’s always bothered me is that in the original trilogy they clearly treat Darth as a name, not a title.

Any SW book recommendations, I gave up on the Admiral Thrawn book (which is unlike me) I did read Darth Maul and Darth Bane, enjoyable but a little silly. Cheers.

The X-Wing series are great pulpy works if you don't mind flight scenes. And Disney book, sure, but Lost Stars was also pretty good.

>t. foolish teenager
Why do you always do this you autistic sperg lord. I remember beating your ass up and down the street in an argument once and all you could retort was “muh muh why do you speak like this?” It’s called character, you fuckstick. Maybe get out of your parent’s basement and build some. I know literal niggers who are more articulate than you. The irony is your diction displays a greater separation from linguistic reality (and thereby a greater social offense) than anons.

tl;dr you’re a huge faggot and I cannot wait for you to an hero when you realize how much of a bugman you are

Maybe in the first movie, but it's clear when they commit to Vader being Luke's father that it isn't.
